The son of the 85-year-old woman who fed money to a male stripper in a nursing home says part of his beef is racial -- a white stripper lording over an elderly black woman.

Franklin Youngblood tells TMZ he wants his mother's nursing home to fork over $10,000,000 for robbing her of her dignity.

As TMZ previously reported, Youngblood is suing his mother's Long Island nursing home for organizing a male stripper event ... which he claims embarrassed his mother, who is wheelchair-bound and suffers from dementia.

What's interesting ... Youngblood's lawyer made the photo public ... which seems like the essence of the $10 million claim. Interesting.
